Google Professional Cloud Database Engineer Exam - Topic 7 Question 66 Discussion

You are migrating an on-premises application to Compute Engine and Cloud SQL. The application VMs will live in their own project, separate from the Cloud SQL instances which have their own project. What should you do to configure the networks?
B) Create a Shared VPC that both the application VMs and Cloud SQL instances will use.
D) Place both the application VMs and the Cloud SQL instances in the default network of each project.
A) Create a new VPC network in each project, and use VPC Network Peering to connect the two together.
C) Use the default networks, and leverage Cloud VPN to connect the two together.

True, but peering is more flexible for separate projects. Good point!

I feel like using shared VPC could also work. It simplifies management.

Yeah, that makes sense. It allows communication between the VMs and Cloud SQL.

Wait, can you really have separate projects for VMs and Cloud SQL?

I heard you can just use the default VPC network and it'll work fine. Who needs all this fancy networking stuff anyway?

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Isn't there a way to use a single VPC network and just create separate subnets for each project?

I'm not sure, but I think we need to create a shared VPC network and then grant the necessary permissions to both projects.

Wouldn't it be easier to just use the same VPC network for both projects? That way, we don't have to worry about VPC peering.

I think we need to create a VPC network in the Compute Engine project and a separate VPC network in the Cloud SQL project, then configure a VPC peering connection between them.

I’m a bit confused about whether we should use shared VPC or just keep them in separate VPCs. I need to double-check the documentation on that.

This seems similar to a practice question we did on network configurations. I believe we might also need to enable the Cloud SQL Admin API.

I remember something about using private IPs for Cloud SQL, but I can't recall if we need to configure firewall rules as well.

I think we need to set up VPC peering between the two projects to allow the VMs to communicate with Cloud SQL, but I'm not entirely sure how that works.

Ah, I see. The key here is to set up a shared VPC network and then use network peering to connect the two projects. That way, the application VMs can securely access the Cloud SQL instances. I'll make sure to double-check the firewall rules too.

This seems straightforward enough. I'll create a shared VPC network, then configure the appropriate network peering and firewall rules to allow the application VMs to access the Cloud SQL instances. Shouldn't be too difficult as long as I plan it out carefully.

I'm a bit confused on the network setup here. Do I need to create a separate VPC for each project or can I use a shared VPC? And how do I ensure the right level of access between the application VMs and Cloud SQL?

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the network configuration carefully to make sure the application VMs can securely connect to the Cloud SQL instances.
